I couldn't remember off the top of my head, but these were the recommended oils for gearbox and diff on my 325i Sport a few years ago when I changed them. Not sure if it helps?  |

A LSD requires a different oil, SAF will probably be no good... For the moment I'm using Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W-140 in my Merc LSD. Which says it has clearance for "BMW LS Rear Axles". Anyway, before something breaks - what does BMW say? Have you asked at a dealership? That said, MB wanted to sell me the wrong oil *cought*.  HTH, Jan |

I do seem to recall there are two types of oil recommended for E30 LSDs though, and forget what the difference was. E30Zone will have all the info, but yes, preferably ask BMW themselves  |

Aha! OK! I was assuming you were refering to E30s in general - but given the context it should have been clear Why can't they just invent a universal oil that fits everything? 1 engine oil, 1 gearbox oil, 1 diff oil. I hate finding out the correct oil Where's the EU when you need it?? (I'm joking btw. ) Cheers, Jan |
